I showed up and they said not to worry they would get me into it because they had no idea why it was cancelled. I left an hour later because they still didn't get me into the appointment. Before I left they assured me they would refund the co-pay they charged me. They didn't do that of course. I went to the Chicago Rush for my appointment but had to drop off my imaging CD at Munster. They told me it would take 10-15 minutes and left 45 minutes later. Morons work the front desk and that says something about the office! If you can get past them it might be good but they could care less at the front desk! The worst part is I had to listen to their stupid nonsense stories while they sat around doing nothing for something that my 10 year old can do in 5 minutes.

I developed an infection he completely ignored--no blood work, no PICC line, no sense of concern whatsoever. His ego clearly outweighs his concern for patient care. The way he talks down to hospital staff is just another reflection of his arrogance. I've been fighting this infection for nearly a year, and have to have the entire knee replacement removed due to his negligence. Thankfully the doctors at Rush Hospital in Chicago are now cleaning up his mess. Avoid him at all costs.

This was a first visit and I was taken back with the lack of any ounce of empathy shown by the…read morestaff that we encountered from the receptionist to the medical assistants, nurses and lastly the doctor. 30 minutes after our appointment time we were shown into an exam room. The medical assistant required us as family to hold up the very elderly (95+} patient from a wheelchair 2 weeks after surgery while she yanked out 24 staples from the leg and hip area. There was some inflammation so she left in the middle of the extraction to find a nurse, while we stood holding up the patient. About 10 minutes later she returned. The nurse opened the door half way as our family member was held up by us in underwear and other patients and staff passed by the doorway. Really? She indicated an antibiotic was needed. After staples were extracted the medical assistant announced an x-ray was needed and if we thought the patient would be unable to maneuver alone we should come with to the x-ray room to help. Wow - very surprised at this requirement and the indifference shown. Medical assistant just stood by while we assisted for w-ray. Beyond surprised. Another 15 minutes before the Dr came in. Very cavalier and clearly had no clue who the patient was and any related information we needed from him for the antibiotic and further treatment plan in rehab and thereafter. He couldn't get out fast enough. Fundamental issue was not a shred of real care or concern. People mill. The prescription for antibiotics wasn't sent to the place we specified so took another day to track down where they sent it and have it redirected. All on us and the practice didn't help at all. Unfortunately have to go back for another checkup with this Dr and practice. At least our expectations of long wait times and dispassionate staff is known.

After years of pain and stiffness, he was the one to find my daughter's juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, through bloodwork. We have gone to 2 other orthopedic doctors prior to Brown and they all did xrays and threw her in physical therapy, never finding true reason to why she had the pain. He went above and beyond with her getting dx and we are forever grateful. Front desk ladies are wonderful. Mary was amazing with patient education and follow ups. After seeing how many xrays doc ordered, X-ray tech muttered "Jesus Christ" under her breath and seemed annoyed to do her job. I'm not looking for "good feels", I'm there for excellent care on my family's health.

If you have a choice, go to Dr. Omar Perez, several offices in the area. No, I'm not getting paid. I just like good quality sevice.

Vestibular physical therapy with Hermelinda Hernandez at Community Hospital in Munster was the one and only thing that turned things around for me. She also helped me with issues with hip and ankle which were greatly effecting my balance. She not only listens to me, but she remembers me and personalizes our PT sessions. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and also very kind, supportive and friendly. Even though I don't seem like the "traditional" vertigo sufferer, she made it her mission to figure out things that would work for me and new ways to challenge me. She's always coming up with new (and fun) exercises to push my limitations. I am amazed at how much I have improved and I constantly tell people about her. I cannot say enough good things about her and definitely recommend seeing her!
